poem HW
In the poem titled âcountermanâ we come across a sandwich maker at a deli with an intense indiscernible passion for his job. Although going at a very fast paced the sandwich maker makes sure to carefully listen to each and every single order, while at the same time asking questions that would sued the customers need each customers need. He then comes across a very peculiar customer with an out off the ordinary order. Both inter changed an indescribable amount of terms and expressions that are abnormal to the average person. And in the midst of all the terminology the sandwich maker was able to understand and please the customers order.
This poem reminds me of the duties that we take on as we through the hospitality industry. Like the sandwich maker we must be able to provide with the much-needed attention and care at the fastest paste. And when we come across special cases, the consistency of our delivery should always be the same. Just a small conversation as such as the one that the customer and sandwich maker had, can make a great difference in customer hospitality experience.
Counterman
Paul Violi was a great and respected writer who wrote many poems. One of those poems was about food and the name of the poem is “Counterman”. This poem reminds me when i was young and just finished University with Tourism and Hospitality Degree. Because Violi talks about traveling in this poem which I love so much, and about food, my other favorite thing. In my point of view, a person who loves to travel like me and love food as well is the perfect person to read and talk about.
The author, described perfect what kind of food that the customer was ordering and also you as a reader, what kind of person they were. I could understanding this because each person that was ordering food was described by the vendor when he was asking question about the order. In this case, i am guessing their personality and where they came from. For example: the first orders was made maybe by a professional business person who does not have time to waste or a student who wants everything done immediately. The third and last client in the poem, i think this person is a woman who is very pick about everything, wealthy and traveled around the world because the vendor changed his vocabulary to accommodate this person. However, not just the client was well educated but the vendor too.
The Counterman Reaction
The poem “The Counterman” was extremely interesting and entertaining to me. I had never heard a poem like that before, so I found it really interesting that a poem was able to tell such a strong story and give vivid imagery. What was most interesting to me was how the author came up with the idea to write a poem about a Deli counterman. I think it is a really creative way to tell a story. Just from reading the poem in my head it is like I can hear all the different voices of the customers. The poem has a different tone and flow as you read through each customer’s order. All the counterman’s lines were short and repetitive which helped give a better sense of how fast and accurate he needs to be at his job.
This poem reminded me of exactly what happens when you go to a Deli in New York. The people behind the counter are always extremely attentive and fast with getting the order ready. This poem reminded me of the bagel store by my house on a Saturday morning. It is so hectic and crowded there. You have to know what you want and how you want it before you even walk into the door otherwise you’ll get lost in the sea of people who are waiting to pick up their food.

Food vs. Coffee #Homework2
During the civil war coffee played an important roll keeping the soldiers âaliveâ and ready for battle. Although many argue that coffee was probably one of the reasons why the union won the war I donât believe that coffee should be substitute any food. Coffee was really important in maintaining the soldiers energized but I believe this was all do in part to the fact that the soldiers had a very poor nutrition. Many of these soldiers recognized cooking as a foreign idea that had never really crossed their mind before the war. Coming into the war the soldiers didnât recognized the importance of having a decent nutritional meal and how much effect it would have on a daily basis. I believe that if the soldiers had good meals the need for coffee wouldnât be so large. Most of our daily intake energy comes from our diets and depending on our diets, so when a proper diet is not present the need to create energy itâs still existent.
One dish that I will always love is Arroz Chofan (Chow Fan rice), is the Dominican take on Chinese fry rice. This rice contains large number of vegetables and a variety of meats depending on the cookâs choice. What I love about this rice so much is that eating by itself can delivered a large amount flavors and different textures.

In the articles of â How coffee fueled the civil warâ and â Civil war cooking: What the union soldiers ateâ addressed the lifestyle of eating that soldiers had at war. The soldiers had a bad meal plan and werenât feed enough although a meal plan was given to them. I think that they werenât feed enough food for the job that they had as soldiers. Although I think the soldiers werenât provided much food I also think that during that time there wasnât a variety of food to offer as there is now. For the soldiers to be able to survive with short meals that they were provided I find them brave. I wouldnât been able to survive with the food that was provided to the soldiers because I am use to eating in variety and many choices.
The image above shows a plate of tacos, I wouldn’t be able to live without nachos because I actually eat them weekly. I try new ways to eat them because I really enjoy them although they get messy. When I go out to eat at food places I usually try to get nachos to see how they are served in different places.
